This week they’ve called me twice, each time from a different number, about the housing issues I mentioned. Once I questioned them, they just ended the call.

I picked up the phone and before I could say anything, they ended the call right away.

My landline phone didn’t stop the call, so from what I've read here, it looks like a robocaller that rings to see who picks up and then shares your number around. Loads of folks have reported getting calls from 12.08.26. It appeared as a blocked number for me too.

I answered a call from a number I didn’t recognise (02045788987), and the woman on the other end, speaking with a strong South African accent, never told me who she was. Instead, she immediately asked for me by name, which was odd considering the number belongs to my wife under her maiden name – she usually uses it, and there’s no link to me on any paperwork. The plot thickens because the only time I’ve used her phone was a few days ago when mine was charging, to sort out our internet service which is in my name. The caller asked for me by name two more times, and each time I just asked who she was. She never said, then just hung up. To me, this sounds like a scammer, so I’ve blocked the number now.

I hardly ever pick up my landline nowadays, so I usually let it ring out and check the voicemail later. This time there was nothing on the answerphone, just silence. When I dialled 1471 to see the last number, I was still connected and heard an automated message saying the number I’d entered was wrong. Feels like one of those scam calls to me. Since January, I’ve only had about 3 calls, but two of them came in just this past week. Honestly thinking of getting rid of this landline for good!

This number rang me after I disconnected a different call from someone doing a survey. Sounds like they’re trying from all angles!

They called me thrice. The first time I didn’t answer. When they rang the second time I told the bloke to stop with these ‘surveys’. Then they rang a third time but from another number. I just ended the call on the last two times.

Blocked right away, no message came through. Probably some kind of scam.

Got a call from an AI voice about fixing stuff in my house. Total spam, probably dodgy too. Best thing to do is just hang up and report it straight away.

I keep getting these calls where nobody says anything when I answer, all from this number.

They said they were following up on a housing repair job, but I never asked for one and I actually own my place, so I just hung up. I've blocked the number now, and reading through the comments, looks like loads of others are dealing with the same thing.

My phone flagged the call as a scam, so I didn't pick up. After seeing the comments here, I'm happy I ignored it. They didn’t leave a voicemail either, so I’m thinking they probably weren’t too bothered about reaching me anyway.

Got a call from a lady with a strong Asian accent claiming to be from Eon, which happens to be our energy provider (so every now and then they might hit the mark). She said they were contacting me about my contract renewal. When I told her that my contract had actually just been renewed a couple of months earlier and that she was mistaken, I ended the call straight away. Another number added to my blacklist. Why isn’t there a way to block these numbers the moment they ring? Sure, they’ll just switch to a different one, but at least being able to kill off one number immediately would stop that particular scammer from pestering anyone else for a short while!

Got a voicemail from this number, said something like “Final question, would you suggest our firm to friends? Press one for yes, two for no.” Honestly, if I don’t know who you are and I didn’t ask to be called, that’s just daft. Not bothering to answer, blocked it straight away.

My phone rang, but I didn't pick up because it showed a warning saying it might be a telemarketing call. They didn’t leave any voicemail, which just proves it was probably spam.

This number just won't stop buzzing me, it's proper annoying and feels like harassment.

Got a call yesterday and it was definitely one of those dodgy energy scams.

I got a call from a woman wanting to talk to the person who owns the house about a boiler. I asked her for the owner’s name, and right after I did, she just hung up on me. Honestly, it was a relief because I was about to hang up myself if she didn’t give me a proper name.

I didn’t pick up as the number looked a lot like ones that usually hassle me with annoying calls.

I rang that number and got some voicemail about a "housing disrepair team." What a joke! Totally scammers, no doubt about it.

Got a phone call that seemed like it came straight from some Indian call centre. The person said they were from Vodafone and then asked if I was happy with their service. When I told them I actually wasn't a Vodafone customer, they went on to ask who my provider was!

Got a voicemail that just said "Put me on your WhatsApp". Definitely sounded like spam to me.

Watch out, it's a scam but they use a landline number so don't be fooled.

Got a call from someone saying they were from a PCP miss selling outfit, chatting about some compensation. I’ve never had a PCP deal on a car, so it’s gotta be a con.

Got a call saying I have outstanding car finance, which is totally not true at all.
